Mixed breed Pushinka with her pups on the White House lawn, 1963.

This photograph by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton is of the
Kennedy's dog, Pushinka, and her puppies: Butterfly, White Tips,
Blackie, and Streaker. Pushinka was a gift from Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev in 1961. Butterfly and Streaker were given away to Midwest
children when they were two months old, while Blackie and White Tips
stayed with the family until they were given to friends.
